Hey MRV, almost time to come dance with me again! It was such a great time in December that we are making Community Line Dancing @ Afterthoughts a monthly event.

**Join Larissa for some low-stakes social dancing you can do solo!
Last Thursday of the month, every month through May 2025 @ Afterthoughts (above Valley Meade)**

All are WELCOME!
Grab your boots and come have a bite courtesy of Peace Burger (dine-in starts at 5PM) followed by Line Dancing Lessons from 7 to 9 PM

Admission: Pay what you wish at the door via Venmo (preferred) or cash

(ICYMI Peace Burger had a SMASHING opening last weekend! Check them out here:

See the below event page for more detailed event info, plus demo and tutorial videos for dances taught at previous pop-ups.

Looking forward to dancing with y'all soon

After a fantastic Community Line Dancing pop-up @ Afterthoughts (with tasty smashburgers from Peaceburger) in December, I'm happy to announce we're going to make it a recurring monthly event!

Stay tuned for more info in the new year, and save the dates!

Any day now you'll be able to get amazing food from Peaceburger as early as 12PM Thurs thru Sunday, and Afterthoughts has a full bar, so plan to come early enough to grab a bite and a beverage before you put on your dancing boots!

Line dancing lessons from 7 to 9PM
ALL ARE WELCOME!
Pay what you wish at the door (venmo preferred, cash & credit card available)

Huge thanks to Afterthoughts for hosting us in their wonderful space with tasty beverage offerings, and Peaceburger for making this event alliteratively delicious!

If you'd like me to do more Community Line Dancing pop-ups at other dates/times/locations in the New Year please reach out and let me know. I'm happy to work with folks to teach more dancing in the valley in addition to this recurring event, but need to pace myself and get a logistical assist if I'm doing this beyond 1x/month moving forward. I have to get back to doing more Stowell Barn-based programming for next summer!

Happy New Year, and looking forward to dancing with y'all again soon

The November pop-up exceeded my expectations and allowed me to return to the 'pay what you wish' model for admission (thanks MRV!). It's important to me to make this financially accessible to everyone, so thank you for those who came out in November for helping making that happen.
